RESONANCE APPARATUS Description and Specifications for Lab Tenders
RESONANCE APPARATUS.
RESONANCE APPARATUS This resonance apparatus is used to determine the wavelength
and speed of sound in the air. This apparatus includes a plastic
tube with a ruler, mounted on a support and connected with a
water tank that can easily be moved upwards or downwards.
The equipment laos includes a clamp for installing a tuning fork
on the top of resonance tube. After the resonance tube is filled
partially with water, a vibration is excited in a tuning fork of
known frequency available on the top of the tube. Rising or
lowering the water level will enable to adjust the length of air
column inside the tube until the air column resonates at the
same frequency of the vibrating tuning fork.
Varying the height of air column, students can calculate sound
wavelength and speed on the air.
The tank is of metal, and the connection hose of rubber.
The equipment includes a tuning fork with frequency of 512 Hz.
